NEAR TWO HUNDRED DEAD.
THETERRTBLE DISASTER INA BRITISH
COLUMBIA MINE

The Mines AfIame-The Work of Rec0v-
ering the Dead--Seventy-fv China
men and One Hundred White Men in
the List of the Killed.
VICTORIA, B. c., May Last nights
kilograms from Nanaimo state that the
latest investigations show that 1O1 white
men and seventy-6ve Chinese were in the
mine at the time of the explosion. After
strict inquiry it is learned that there are
forty seven widows, most of whom have
large families, and no fewer than 100 CHI
dren have been made fatherless by the
calamity. The Coroner jury viewed the
bodies this afternoon. and the
inquest was adjourned until Sa.ur-
soon be totally extinguished, and it is con-
fidently expected that the shift that comes
up at midnight will bring some of the bod
les. Coal smoke continues to issue from
the air shaft, and tonight, famed by a
breeze, it seems quite heavy. In a con-
versation with one of the night shift he
said that good progress was being made on
the pumps, the men there standing in be-
tween three and four feet of water The
Cinnamon met last night and made ar
rangements for burying their couutr; men.
Some refused, this morning, to place their
dead in cotfins, and had 10 be compelled
by force to do SO. Many homes are COM
pletely broken up and the city is in sack
cloth and ashes. Stores still continue
closed and little business is being done.
All hope of saving the men, now in the
mines, has been abandoned. 1t is abss-
lutely impossible that any one have sur
vived Most of the men were from Corn
wall, Yorkshire, and Wales, and few
from Nova Scotia.

rRHxEx THE WINNER

In the Friendly TrOtting Contest at Hamilton Park Yesterday-A Pleas ant Social Event.
 The friendly trotting contest between Mir. George Ives Trixey and Mir. Fred Shares White Wings came to a conclusion at Ham, ilton Park yesterday. Quite large party of the friends of the gentlemen were pres ent Four heats had been trotted on the day before without deciding anything, hence the postponement. The first heat yesterday was declared no heat. The next decided the con- test in favor of Trixey. The time of the heat was 2:4614. Both horses are good road sters and both did noblY and were quite evenly matched, it requiring six heats to de- eide the race. White Wings is 8 young horse brought from Canada last winter, and full of promise. Trixey is 8 fve-year-old mare, fleet, and so gentle that she is driven by MT. Ives wife, mother and daughter and is family pet. MT. Ives gave private sup per at David Cowelps last evening, and among those present were: Mir. Frink of Hartford, Mir. Shillinglaw of Waterbury, MT. N. W. Hinckley of this city, who drove Trixey, MT. Nathan Palmer of North Haven, Trask, Mir. Baldwin, Mir. Fox and others, in cluding Messrs. H. l.. Cowel1 and George Mcdonald, who, with Jacob Broschart, were the judges at the race. Mir. Fox is gen. tleman who has recently come to this city and taken 8 stable on Whalley avenue, where he proposes to handle gentlemen's driving horses and trotters. The menu was a superb one, one of MT. Cowell's best, wood cock, quail, partridge being among the fea- lures of the banquet. Everything was served with generous hands. It was 8 very pleasant social affair, thoroughly enjoyed by all present MT. Ives bred and raised Trixey, as he has also many other horses of great merit, and has done much to cultivate the apprecia- tion of fine horses in this city. MT. Frink, of Hartford, noted with pleasure the fact that Sugar Plum, the fine horse raised and sold by MT. Ives to MT. Farnam of Hartford, won the silver medal at the recent trots at Char ter Oak Park in which none but private horses, owned by Hartford gentlemen, were allowed to be entered; no professionals al lowed.

A Committee Visit That Has Surprised
 North Haven People and Furnished
 a Town TOpic-The Railroad Shops
 Where Will They He Located
 NORTH HAVEN, Nov. IA committee from the Consolidated railroad company has examined land in town in regard to locating their repair shops and other buildings here. It would seem as if there was land enough in town in the right location which could very well be spared and would be suitable for the purpose. A timely suggestion is made that the land owners offer to give . number of acres, as has been done in our n0ighboring town. Of course the comraittee's visit has created town topic of conversation, ,and that there are millions in it" for some of our landholders should site be selected here there can be no question. However, bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

UP IT GOES.
Lehigh Coal Takes Another Jum
 Upward.

Lehfgh Coal Takes Another Jump
 Upward.
 The price of Lehigh coal took another jump upward yesterday. The price is now, there fore, S7 per ton and the supply of it in most yards in the city is very limited. The strike among the miners continues. How long it will last nobody knows. Some of the deal CTS have still a moderate supply in their y ards, having bought heavily in the summer, knowing that they would not have a chance to buy it any cheaper as cold weather ad- vanced, and having in view the possibility of strike. Quite large number of citizens ordered their winters supply of coal early last summer and hence will get their coal at the old price, but many of them have yet to get the bulk of their orders filled, the supply being so limited
